ESPN 30 for 30 Shorts: The Bad Boy of Bowling

In the most notorious moment of his storied career, Pete Weber screamed, "Who do you think you are? I am." "The Bad Boy of Bowling," directed by Bryan Storkel, explores the meaning of that shout, uttered for a national television audience right after he won an unprecedented fifth U.S. Open title. He's the one-time wunderkind son of Dick Weber, the matinee idol of bowling in its heyday. He's the mullet-wearing PDW who gave much-needed energy to a dying sport with his "crotch chops." He's a wise guy who has wised up-at least a little. In this entertaining but piercing roll down memory lane, viewers will discover just who Pete Weber really is.
